Well....poor guy. What a gruesome way to die!

Am I completely dumb?! Is the plot twist a plot twist or do both guys know about each other all along?

Ha. So we take a Sherlock Holmes type of approach and deduce who Isaac REALLY is ;-)

"I can sedate you if you think you need it."

Oh yeah? And how would he tell you? You just froze his vocal cords!!

“Hey, why do you have a book about a boy at magic school under a dust jacket for Obligations and Duties of the Obedient Slave?”

Seriously? Harry Potter survived the Apocalypse?

This examination scene is quite disturbing...

' He’d done it once before, after all.'

Can we get an explanation, please? They just throw in small remarks that confuse me but give no explanation for anything ;-)

' This was the medic. The slave. His slave.'

Why *his* slave? Do they know each other?!

“How the fuck do you know that? No, wait, don’t answer that. It’s those damn dead trees you collect, isn’t it?

Eeerm, he can't mean...books, can he?!

“Sure, then. Hell, I bet there’s a farm in Great Carolina where the ex-slaves all go. Green fields. Trees and shit.”

Yeah, sure. Or they run you all through a meat grinder to produce high protein *milk shakes* #CloudAtlas
